Michael Vick is struggling through a tough first full season as the Philadelphia Eagles' starting quarterback, and now it's been revealed there's injury added to the insult of Week 10's stunning home loss to the Arizona Cardinals that has his team at 3-6.

Vick broke two ribs on the second play of the game against the Cardinals, Eagles coach Andy Reid announced in his Monday news conference.

In regards to whether Vick will be healthy enough to play against the New York Giants on Sunday night in Week 11, "we'll see," Reid told reporters.

Beyond his team's losing record, Vick has struggled mightily as a passer after his breakout year in Reid's offense in 2010. He's seen his efficiency rating dip to something reminiscent of his Atlanta Falcons days (79.8), throwing 11 touchdown passes in contrast to 11 interceptions and three lost fumbles.

Vick has produced a spectacular 535 yards rushing, but with it has come taking plenty of hits in the pocket and out in the open field as a scrambler. The Cardinals are the latest team to leave him battered.

In addressing the media himself Monday, Vick shared just how painful the injury to ribs was, but didn't use it as an excuse for his shaky performance (16-for-34, 128 yards, two interceptions) in the 21-17 setback. Just like Reid, he noted the uncertainty about his ability to practice this week.

It's admirable Vick hung in there to keep playing against the Cardinals despite the pain, but he would face a more formidable foe next week. Looking at the New York Giants, the Eagles should be worried, even if Vick is able to go. The Giants are loaded with talented edge pass rushers who can get to Vick.

In the teams' Week 3 matchup in Philadelphia, Vick suffered a bone contusion on his right (non-throwing) hand, but was still able to play against San Francisco in Week 4. This is a much tougher injury from which to recover in a short period of time.

If Vick can't play, former Tennessee Titans QB Vince Young would make his first start for the Eagles. Young's only pass attempt of the season was intercepted.

The Eagles already need to face the fact they likely will be without Vick's most reliable wide receiver, Jeremy Maclin, next Sunday. Reid on Monday announced that Maclin, who also injured his hamstring in defeat, has a sprained AC joint in his shoulder (a separation).
